Clueless boy

Clueless Boy

When I met her, I was a clueless boy
But she didn't wait for me to mature
She saw my innocence for weakness
And my lack of money , a curse

She never thought this boy will grow
She ran away with other lovers
Because in her eyes I was a clueless boy
She didn't mind what it did to my heart

I stood there, wondering if only she could see me.
Love became a mystery .
She was blind to my pain and deaf to my cries
I was a clueless boy to her

Until one day she found out, she had  HIV and pregnant
She looked for that , clueless boy ,
And he was long gone.
